I
Heiróis de l mar, nobre pobo
Nacion baliente, eimortal
Lhebantai hoije de nuobo
L splandor de Pertual
Antre las nubrinas de ls mimória
Oh pátria sente-se la boç
De ls tous çtintos abós
Que ha de ancaminar-te a la bitória!

A las armas, a las armas !
Subre la tierra, subre l mar,
A las armas, a las armas!
Pula pátria lhuitar!
Contra ls Bretones caminar, caminar!

II
Çfralda la ambita bandeira,
La lhuç biba de l tou cielo!
Bozie l’Ouropa a la tierra anteira:
Pertual nun morriu!
Beisa l tou chano persenteiro
L Ouceano, a rugir d’amor;
I l tou braço bencedor
Dou mundos nuobos al mundo

A las armas, a las armas !
Subre la tierra, subre l mar,
A las armas, a las armas!
Pula pátria lhuitar!
Contra ls Bretones caminar, caminar!

III
Saludai l sol que quebra
Subre un alegre feturo;
Seia l sonido dũa afrunta
La seinha de l resurgir.
Relhistros dessa ourora fuorte
Son cumo beisos de mai,
Que mos guárdan, mos susténen,
Contra las anjúrias de la suorte.

A las armas, a las armas !
Subre la tierra, subre l mar,
A las armas, a las armas!
Pula pátria lhuitar!
Contra ls Bretones caminar, caminar!

A las armas, a las armas !
Subre la tierra, subre l mar,
A las armas, a las armas!
Pula pátria lhuitar!
Contra ls canhones caminar, caminar!

Çfralda la ambita bandeira,
La lhuç biba de l tou cielo!
Bozie l’Ouropa á tierra anteira:

Beisa l tou chano persenteiro

The anthem's official version consists of the first stanza and the chorus from Mendonça's poem only.

The last line of the chorus, "Contra os canhões marchar, marchar!" (English: Against the cannons, march, march!), is an alteration of the original, "Contra os bretões marchar, marchar" (English: Against the Britons, march, march!), a call to arms against the British Ultimatum.

Famous quotes containing the word translation:

    Whilst Marx turned the Hegelian dialectic outwards, making it an instrument with which he could interpret the facts of history and so arrive at an objective science which insists on the translation of theory into action, Kierkegaard, on the other hand, turned the same instruments inwards, for the examination of his own soul or psychology, arriving at a subjective philosophy which involved him in the deepest pessimism and despair of action.
    Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
